Tho Suffolk is the most recently form
cd breed of English sheep, having orig
mated over half century ago by cross
ing southdown rams on Norfolk horned,
black faced ewes In East Suffolk, es-
pecially along the sea coast, there are
large tracts of hard "walksn and heaths
on which many Of these sheep have been
pastured for years, and where they have
Ind TO treyel miles ia a day to get a
belly full, returning to the folds or arabic
lands at night. The old Norfolk sheep
had long horns and short close wool, Of
ten with gray spots and tail. IT was gen
orally bare bellied and so active that il
took al least four years 20 get the produce
fit for the table; but when ripe, the nut
ton was priced more highly than that Of
any other breed, being preferred By many
70 venisOp.
The ewes were wonderful mixers, Civ
ing, we are told, "as Huch milk as a Jer-
sey COW, and breeding litters at any
rate three lambs often come and four
we're not uncommon" By judgement
care and attention, the valuable qualities
Of these sheep have been maintained
namely the excellence of their mutton,
the activity, hardness and mothefly pro
pensities of the females, with close wool,
black. shiny faces and bright. full eyes;
but instead of taking -four years % fat
ten, the progeny are now slaughtered at
nine TO ten months. Thousands of Suf-
folk rams are annually disposed of at
Newmarket and Ipswich fairs, and AZ auc-
tion sales in smaller towns in the country.
Ram lambs bring an average Of So, E6, or
81 a head, while as much as E2l, t3l10,
t42 and G52.1O have been paid for the
bests specimens.
In the present breed the head is horn
less; face black and long; ears medium
black and OF fine texture; eyes bright and
full; neck moderate; shoulders broad and
oblique; chest deep and wide; back and
loins, level and we'll covered with meat
and muscle tall broad and well set up
ribs long and well sprung, with full
flank legs and feet straight, wish fine
Hat bones; wool 70 knees aud hooks
clean below; forelegs we'll apart; hind
legs well filed with mutton; belly wei
covered with wool; fleece moderately
short, with n close, fine, lustrous fiber
without tendency to mat or net together
nor shading Off into dark wool or hair

The Suffolk Sheep Society, VIII ich has
been established several years, has just
commenced TO register rams. 1t has
started novel idea by giving challenge
cups for the best hocks. The Garrett
challenge cup, value $26. was offered the
other day for the best flock OF 200 or
more Suffolk breeding ewes, together
with all the rams used in the flock. The
Suffolk Agricultural Society offers annual
premiums TO the shepherds who haya
been most successful in caring for their
hocks during the year, and from the
records OF the society, it is evident thVt
the fccundity OF the females is still re-
murkable, for q rotio of 40 lambs TO 100

SUICIDE OF GOV. REYNOLDS.
Last Letter to Living World
Explaining His Rash
Act.

The news Of the death of Gov. Rey-
nolds was first given to the public in
Sedalia yesterday by the BAzoo,
twelve hours in advance of the organ
of the boyc offers and dynamiters.
The following is a copy of a letter
found on his person directed to the
Chief of Police, st. Louis
2STH MARCH, 1887.

A GREAT MISTAKE

mas heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced BY the
failure on the part of thousands OF sufferers
20 find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous sO-called remedies. To
such AthlOphorOs Is offered as a safe, sure,
and quick cure. Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet it is not surprising be-
cause it wiH do all that is claimed for it.
The AthlOphOros Co. Will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation to
reliable parties who have been cured
by it.
j. f. Gillespie, Real Estate and Loan
Agent, at Atlantic, Iowa, says: My rheu-
matism first appeared in the hip, and then
extended down into the legs through the
sciatic nerve. / suffered whether standing
or sitting, and it was with the greatest Of
difficulty that / succeeded in hObbling to
my office each day. / consulted physicians,
also tried every remedy i could learn Of
without any good effects whatever. MY
great fears were that would always have
it. As | was writing letter to this friend
in Chicago, / casually made note ofmy rheu-
matism, and thought no more about it. But
my letter was answered very promptly, tell
ing me to use Athlophoros; also stating his
mothers case and cure which was more Sc
we're than mine. | ut once purchased a
'ottle and by the time / had finished
taking it, my rheumatism was gone. L
was little too quick to stop, it had not
gone entirely cut of my system. had
another little attack, but another bottle
of Athlophoros did the work. 1t has now
been over year since, and i consider it
an excellent medicine, and have recon-
mended it to others"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and AthlOphOros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phOros Co., III Wall St., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is $1.C0 per bottle
for AthlOphOros ard SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases dyspepsia, in
weakness nervous debility, diseases

blood, &c-, AthlOphOros Pills are unequaled. u

HOmeward Bound.

General Terry of the United States
Army and Col j. G. G.. Lee of his
staff, accompanied by their wives,
passed through the city this morning
en- route to Chicago in special car.
They are on their return trip from an
inspection tour of the southern posts
and garrisOns along the Mexican bor-
der embracing a pleasure trip through
a pOr,i ion of Mexico. The party are
in excellent heath and spirits and
General Terry said to reporter that
he never enjoyed a trip more than
the present.
GLOW did you find the
garrison" inquired the scribe
I'm excellent condition every
way"
"HOw are the Indians?"
"Quiet, so far as / learned, with
prospects for peace during the sum-
mer."
"What is the feeling on the Mexi-
can border toward the people of the
country ?"
$50 far as learned it is very
friendly in the main, but / went into
Mexico as a civilian, and gave little
attention to the matter; therefore |
am almost as ignorant as anyone else
upon the subject"
The party left on the $50 train for
the north, and the beautiful roses and
aquatic plants with which the ladies
had loaded their car will doubtless
look more out of place when they ar
rive home than they did even here
amid the snow. Among their tro-
phies was large monger, or GEN.
fury plant, whose central stalk
armed with sharp spears, was about
six feet high, and the leaves of which
were fully eight feet long. The plant
was secured in old Mexico.

A Narrow Escape.

Will Howard, colored, who drives
transfer wagon for Milt Gsssage
met with an experience this morning
which gave his complexion paleness
that would havel been the envy of
the average painted belle of the race,
could she have seen him.
Just as the $3.50 train was pulling
in from St. Louis Howard drove up
on the Lamine street crossing. The
morning was crisp, the horses fresh,
and they concluded the railroad track
was a good place to do a lit
tie playing. Howard had seen
the train, and calculated close, not
taking into account any stoppages at
that junction.
The engineer saw him, whistled, re-
versed his engine and applied the
brakes, but it was 100 late the wagon
stood still, but the train did not. La
a moment there was crash, and the
air was filled with flying splinters,
wagon, negro and horse. Then the
animals concluded it was not healthy
locality, and moved on. They moved
rapidly up to Main street. Forum
ately Howard landed on his feet un-
hurt, and with the reins in his hands,
he soon stopped his team, aided by
the weight of the wrecked wagon,
which had been deprived OF its hind
running gear, which lay strewn about
the scene of the disaster. Though
this was the extent of the damage, it
is safe to say that Howard received a
lesson which will make him more
cautious in the future, as to how he
fools around fast express trains.

Blew Out the Gas.

A young couple from Halliday,
Mo-, had an experience at Sicher's
last night which will be apt to be
remembered as a chiefepisode in their
honeymoon for many day to come,
but will not be likely to find a repeti-
ton at any anniversary observance of
the bridal day. Shortly after dark
the groom went out in town and on
leaving blew out the gas while the
bride retired and went to sleep, later
ON the smell of gas in the hall attract
ed the attention of the hotel attaches
aud the bride was aroused in time to
save her from suffocatiOn.

j. NJ. Ofield, democrat, 81 have

given the matter any consideration.
Geo. F. Longan, democrat and ex-
member, 81 am in favor of railroad
legislation. As to the merits of any
of the bills that have been pending in
the legislature this winter, l would
not express an opinion without giving
them more study than have. SIN
not in favor of extreme Legislation
and doubt the expediency of any of
the recent bills just at this time. |
think the governor has made 10 mis-
take in calling an extra session of the
Legislature. 1t will give our repres-
entatives an opportunity of giving
the matter further consideration and
whatever is the result the people
and all concerned | think will feel
better satisfied"
V. E.Shaw, democrat, 81 think the
legislature expressed its sentiments
averse to any railroad legislation at
this time, therefore / consider the call
uuwise. Since congress he's taken hold
of the matter | think the state should
wait awhile and see the result.
Louis Deutsch. democrat, 81 am
flat against the extra session Of the
legislature. Missouri does not desire
to legislate against railroads. We
want to aid them all we can and
do nothing to block any wheels of
progress. In my travels | have no.
ticed that places which have the most
railroads have the most prosperity.
Fort Smith now offers $3.50, 900 for
the road running to Fort Gibson and
to Denver If Missouri was as liberal
toward railroads as Kansas, our farms
would bring 500 per acre in the
place of $50 TO $40. Less legislation
and more prosperity would boom the
best state west of the Mississippi.

On The Make.

The Democrat was this morning
honored with visit by Messrs. Louis
Deutsch and Richard t. Gentry of
Sedalia, Mo-, the former being pro-
prietor of the Sedalia Democrat; they
informed the Democrat that thew
reached the city last evening in
company with j. NJ. Offield. l..
IIgentritz, F. b. Meyers and j. G.
Van Blorcom, all of Sedalia.
These gentlemen are here prospect
ing and looking for investments, and
express themselves exceedingly well
pleased with the city and its sur
roundings, and they spoke as being
especially pleased with the State in
situations they had visited.
They entered the State at Fort
Smith, where they remained several
days before coming here, and while
they had nothing but compliments for
the city on the border, they believed
Little Rock the place for investments
as promising greater return in the
way of net profits.
Mr.. Deutsch in speaking of our
mortgage laws, expressed himself with
disfavor to them and stated that the
redemption features would keep out
capital. Men of money would not
make investments where the laws
were such as to prolong the process of
collection. Little Rock Democrat.
